C-BIT https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1374770.0

Code Quality Grade: C
This coin might have some serious problems that should be fixed, but is probably safe to use and not serious enough to be a viable attack vector.

Heritage: Directly from Bitcoin 0.12.0 (self reported and confirmed)

Problems:

* MINOR: Alert key has not been changed
** This could allow for the developer of the coin whcih this was forked from to broadcast a malicious network alert
** If the intention is to disable the alert system, the alert key should be set to "0"
* MAJOR: The coin was announced first on an email list and an hour later was announced on Bitcointalk
** Although the email list was freely available for sign up, this is not what I would consider a "public" release
** This uses the naive Bitcoin difficulty adjustment, and thus did not compensate well for the initial early difficulty spike
** The end result is that about 6500 blocks were mined before the "public" announcement on Bitcointalk and elsewhere

Notes:

Weird search-replace error?
- -            return "node misbehaving";
+            return "node misbehabing";

Watermarks: pow, bitcoin, sha256

Kinda sucks I had to give this a C, but the announcement problem is definitely a major issue, and if any major issue is found it's at least a C. The code and wallet itself is all good.


C+ ?  Wink  haha

For me personally your grades are worth shit .Good remember when you gave "your grades A" to scams and shitcoins. No offense but for me and some other your grades are worthless.
If somebody don't belive it's just a sample (Pharmacoin fucking scam) and there are many another
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1082835.msg11562051;topicseen#msg11562051    Yes that how you mislead people. And they invest in a bad coins.
